The acidophilus that is in yogurt is what is good- especially when you're pushing lots of antibiotics. The idea is to replace the bad bacteria with the good bacteria we need to digest and prevent candida (yeast infections) from growing. The problem with yogurt is all the sugar! Sugar just encourages the bad bacteria and nasty yeast infections. You can get the "pro-biotics" in capsules (in the fridge at the supplement store) that include other cultures besides acidophilus. I never take antibiotics without them.

Those first few years were riddled with infections and lots of incontinence. They have decreased significantly. I went through a lot of different ways to combat all the problems including boosting my immune system and naturopathic stuff- actually going to the naturopath and doing what they told me to do. I don't know exactly why things are better for me now. Maybe my body just needed time to acclimate...? I have not had an infection for over a year and back a few years ago, when I would be symptomatic, nothing would show up on the culture but I would still take the antibiotics to help with the symptoms.. I have lately learned to wait it out when I start having symptoms and it will pass. Now, I don't really do anything. I drink alcohol, coffee (lately) and smoke on occasion. I just moderate it with lots of herbal tea and other fluids with no sugar when I'm done with all the debauchery. Besides cranberry in almost any form, pomegranate is also know to have healing properties. Yogurt too. W
